The project consist of two parts:
The S&P500 is a stock market index comprised of the 500 largest companies that are
listed on stock exchanges in the United States. The charts on this website represent
performance data of the index (total value of all companies in the S&P500), as well
as performance data of particular industries, sub-industries, and individual companies
This initial chart show the daily confirmed cases of COVID-19 for three geographical
regions; China ("daily_covid_china"), United States ("daily_covid_us"), and all other
countries ("daily_covid_world"). The area chart is accompanied by a bar chart which
provides a better understanding of the distribution of number of daily COVID-19 cases.
In this chart, the S&P500 index value (blue) has been added to the right axis.
The index value remains stable while the daily number of cases are limited to
China. But when the virus begins to spread globally, we start to see a decline.
This part of the project brings an interactive, exploratory data analysis platform,
allowing the user to study the performance of each individual S&P500 industry, sub industry,
and S&P500 company during the initial 2-month period of the COVID-19 market crash
